Mexican head chef, Humberto Canales, takes to the culinary stage in a vast theatre-style kitchen where home and street-style recipes are injected with contemporary sophistication; succulent cuts of meat and fresh seafood are prepared to perfection using traditional grills and smoking ovens.

The Style Choreo took on an epicurean adventure celebrating authentic Latin American cuisine via a sharing-style menu which features the heady flavours of Latin America: from Mexico to Argentina, Peru to Brazil.

Innovative cocktails

The true spirit of BU! is to be found in its extensive bars - both indoor and out. The sensational drinks menu has been expertly constructed by the talented BU! team. The result is an exotic and visually exciting drinks selection, packed with imaginative cocktails inspired by the vibrant flavors of Latin America.

The opulent terrace - a large outdoor veranda where drinks will be served in opaque glass wear, speakeasy style - is a cutting-edge concept predicted to make a laudative impression with Abu Dhabi’s ultra chic set.

Flamboyant entertainment

Of course, no Latin venue would be complete without a soundtrack of exhilarating and energetic beats. Music sets the rhythm of Latin life, and so too at BU!.

BU!’s resident DJ, David Wachtel (aka Bass Maze) will be encouraging guests to get their smooth Latin groves on. He has been setting the mood at hotspots in cities like Barcelona, Chicago and Lima for the past 15 years. Hailing from Peru, he is a master curator of fine tunes from all eras and corners of the world and will create the perfect Latin vibe at BU!

Additional DJs, artists and bands from South America, London, Miami and the Balearic will also be making guest appearances. From rumba to samba, mambo and merengue, BU! is the place to let go and live life on the upbeat.

Weekly themed evenings such as Monday’s ‘HOLA CH!CAS’ Ladies Night and Tuesday’s ‘DESTINATION’ night – which will see BU! play homage to a dedicated Latin American country for the night – add to the energetic ambiance of this indefatigable venue.
